I checked the reviews extensively on the Dell XPS AIO 18 and similar competing products, their battery life is 2 to 5 hours depending on usage. Many people are not happy with the touch experience, they report having to tap twice or more on a link or screen element for the device to respond, and their screens are too glossy.
I also have a laptop, a 15.5" Sony Vaio IPS FullHD, great device for general Windows use, but not comfortable to use it as an ebook reader, screen size is not enough plus the keyboard occupies unnecessary space in my desk while reading, not to mention the inability to place the screen to my liking . Hence the need for a tablet as it's much more comfortable for ebook reading, and as I said, preferably bigger screen so I can read a single page or ideally two pages without zooming.
